MO MO LIGHTNING (1) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being prominent at the corner over 1207m at this track, beaten 0.3 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. EMOJI TIME (5) finished fifth over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on November 13. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. BEAT THE BUZZER (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. AFFAIR TO REMEMBER (3) was beaten 7 lengths into fourth at the second run back from a break in a 1207m contest at this track at his latest appearance. No surprise to see him in contention.
